my walk

On my walk I thought about a lot.  It was a nice time to just clear my mind.  It was very relaxing and I would do it again.  While I was out I felt a nice breeze which cooled me down from the heat and I also smelled the fresh cut grass from the people who just cut their lawns.  I saw people walking  some with their dogs, some alone, while others with a friend or a loved one.  I think that a walk ties with romaticism because your out in the nature(kind of) and it may not seem like it but theres a lot of emotion.  All the thoughts that go through your head have some time of feeling which changes your mood and gives you a different feeling.

Dream within a dream

I kind of don't understand the poem but from my understanding I think its about a man who is being broken up with by his girlfriend. He didn't want it to happen so he is very upset about the whole thing. She was his hope and he's lost it. He's hoping that he's just dreaming that it happened because he doesn't want to lose her. He wants to hold on to her as tight as he possibly can
